My Nutcracker is Sweet & Studdly!

OK yeah the title is lame but I'm still recooping from the stomache flu so we'll take what we can get!

I have hade this cute little OPI mini for a couple of years,

it was an extra in a swap from a sweety who was not a "polish" person and had no idea what it was or from which set. So I investigated....No code on the bottom as is with the newer mini's and some older ones. Hmmm....it's a true mini not one of the bigger mini's that is more current....I cannot smel the tulene so I'm guessing it's not more than 3 or so years past. So it was on to searching pictures and I am 99% sure that it is OPI Nutcracker Sweet but if you see it and know it PLEASE let me know!

Yes I defiled the innocent little sweet duochrome with studds because...well this is me!

Pardon my dry yuck paws, as I said I'm still recooping from the stomache flu and dehydration is not pretty

I got sick before I could finish studding all of my fingers but I still like it

My wee little thumb and pink glowy love

Oh look how sweet the sunlight make this

I am not huge on taupe or light colors but I just love this

Now in the shade...WOW she is lilac! *Dies*

Do you have any mystery polish?

Punk Princess distressed mani

Here is my insipiration for this manicure.

I used Finger Paints Strawberry Shake for my base

Wet n wild black creme for the stamp and the striping, Konad plate m57 and some tiny silver stick on nail decals for my studs.

I am all about studs! (the studded part was inspired by my favorite black leather studded bracelete that is too funky to post pics of)

My favorite lippie UD Voodoo!

This time I wanted the distressed look however the full nail images are very dificult to do on my nails for a couple of reasons, 1- my nails are too long 2-my nailbeds are too narrow

3-

This is the natural curve of my nails

4-

see way too much curve in da claws. I wish there were a way to decrease the curve but this is what I have and I'll work with them.

Now the very best part of my day was that about an hour after I took these my thumb nail snapped half way back in my nail bed and also across the right tip and I was at my Son's ENT so no choice but to cut it. :(

So you'll be getting thumbless pictures for a while. It's getting cold and dry here which makes my nails very brittle any suggestions would get you a great big hug!

Studs anyone?

I can’t leave well enough alone, ever!

So I found these cute canvas peep toe wedges for $15 and my first though is if I put some studs on those they’d be hot! So I bought them and here we are!

What you’ll need:
-Canvas shoes of any type (or anything you want to stud up, jeans, a purse or whatever) Now leather requires studding tools but maybe we can do that another time.
-Pliers
-Small sharp scissors
-Studs of whatever color you want (you can buy these at a craft store cheap)
-pencil or fabric marker

Plan out where you want your studs and mark the area.
Step one:
Use scissors to poke small slits for the prongs of your studs.

Step Two:
Press one stud at a time into holes.

Step Three:
Using pliers gently fold prongs down tightly.

Repeat until all studs are in place. You can cut a small piece of cotton fabric, and using no sew glue, glue fabric to cover stud backs.

Now we have some Sexy shoes!
